Quinn, 32, skipped the team's mandatory veteran minicamp, which took place from June 14-16, and NFL insider Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network reported on June 14 that Quinn wants out of Chicago.
The 32-year-old pass-rusher set Chicago's single-season record for sacks with 18.5 in 2021. However, new GM Ryan Poles is signalling a kind of rebuild as the team is trying to fix the salary cap situation for the long-term future.
After trading Khalil Mack to the San Diego Chargers for two draft picks � a 2022 second-rounder and a 2023 sixth-rounder � it looks like Quinn, with three years remaining on his contract and a base salary of $12.8 million this season, could be next. The move would give the Bears the second-highest salary cap space in the NFL next season.
Well, B/R gridiron made a list of 5 trades that would transform the NFL and one of them included the bears trading away Robert Quinn to the Kansas City Chiefs. While it would hurt losing Quinn, I get that he would thrive in Kansas City. With such a stacked team, he would be able to concentrate on pass-rushing a lot since his team would have the lead so much. It would indeed, be a huge pickup for the Chiefs.
